Chapter 1162: Delusion, the Strongest Person Teach His Son
Even though all the strong men of Shenxiao Sect knew that the successor of the Shenxiao Sect's master was not only selected from the True Immortals, and the many powerful overlords who had the power of True Immortals but had not yet achieved enlightenment.
After expanding this scope to include many powerful men, there must be many requirements and conditions, which may be more stringent and screen out many people, but it still cannot resist their enthusiasm.
After all, sometimes, when facing the arrival of opportunities, it is important to know whether you are qualified.
If it is said that the True Immortals and the powerful overlords with the power of True Immortals are directly selected to participate, and ordinary powerful men are not qualified, then even if nothing is said, they will inevitably feel a little disappointed.
But if they are allowed to enter this scope, they know that they have no chance, do not meet the qualifications, and will be eliminated, but they will feel less resentful.
And as expected, every time Pang Hong announced his removal and expanded the selection scope of the successor to the master's position to all powerful men, countless strong men in the entire Shenxiao Sect cheered.
And many smart cultivators instantly saw through the meaning behind this rule, and understood that the headmaster seemed to intend to pass the position to the strongest, not necessarily the true immortal.
"Father, do you mean that the headmaster does not want other true immortals, or the strongest with the fighting power of true immortals to take over this position, but intends to pass it to a certain strongest?" A cultivator of the eighth level of the spiritual realm said in shock after hearing his father's words.
With the development and growth of the Shenxiao Sect, ten thousand years have passed, enough for many changes to occur. Even if the Shenxiao Sect is a pure sect, it is inevitable that there are cultivators in this sect who marry and have children, and then there are cultivator families in the sect.
Of course, the birth of these cultivator families does not have much impact on the Shenxiao Sect, because even if the inheritance of bloodlines has some advantages at the beginning, it cannot really be said that all resources are occupied later.
You should know that the atmosphere and trend in Shenxiao Sect determine that the Sect emphasizes the promotion of the capable and the demotion of the mediocre. If you want to use resources to promote your close subordinates, it is fine, but you also need to pay your own price. It does not mean that you can do it by abusing your power for personal gain.
So in the entire Shenxiao Sect, even if there are cultivator families, the real mainstream is still the inheritance of master and apprentice. After all, even cultivator families cannot guarantee that they will always have talented descendants who can keep the family standing.
You should know that in this Shenxiao Sect, since the capable are promoted, it means fierce competition. If they fall into difficulties simply because of blood and private feelings, this is incomprehensible to them.
Therefore, don't think that these cultivator families will be affectionate. In fact, it is completely the opposite. In this cultivator family, they want to rise and become powerful, the rules are more strict, and the struggle is more intense.
Of course, these cultivator families can really stand out in the fierce competition within the Shenxiao Sect, which means that they are extremely powerful. Even if they are placed in the outside world, they are not inferior to many large sects and large families in the cultivation world.
And the family in front of them is a powerful cultivator family of the Shenxiao Sect. Although they have never had a true immortal, nor have they ever had a supreme overlord with the combat power of a true immortal, an ordinary supreme overlord is definitely not a weakling in this Shenzhou world.
This cultivator family has developed for so many years, and even in the mouth of this cultivator of the eighth level of the spiritual realm, Pang Hong has become a so-called old man.
Although such a title seems a bit exaggerated, it is also an undeniable fact.
A cultivator of the eighth level of the spiritual realm, he and Pang Hong, a true immortal, are thousands of years apart in age, not to mention the gap in strength and status. There is no problem in calling him an old man.
And with Pang Hong's status in the Shenxiao Sect, they dare not call him by his name even if they talk privately behind his back, and they must maintain enough respect.
"Yes, if the headmaster intends to let a certain immortal take over, why should we, the strongest overlord, also be included in the list of successors." The strongest overlord of the cultivator family said in a deep voice.
Sometimes some things do not need to be explained directly. Just by analyzing some practices, we can clearly understand the deep meaning behind them.
As a strongest overlord, the founder of a cultivator family in the Shenxiao Sect, he can develop his family in the Shenxiao Sect, which is enough to show that his means are extraordinary.
You must know that with the fierce competition in the Shenxiao Sect now, being able to develop his family is enough to prove that he is a superior choice in terms of vision and ability.
After learning that the headmaster wanted to push the throne and did not choose a certain immortal to succeed, and that the strongest overlords with the combat power of the immortals directly succeeded, they announced this matter and magnified the scope, which already meant something and expressed their attitude very clearly.
The headmaster does not want the current true immortal to inherit the position of the headmaster of Shenxiao Sect. This may be the headmaster's own intention, or it may be the intention of the founder Changsheng Daojun.
But no matter whose intention it is, in fact, this is an ironclad fact in Shenxiao Sect, and no one can change it. No matter what the reason is, one thing is certain, unless the headmaster changes his mind, or the founder Changsheng Daojun has a new decree, otherwise, this can basically exclude all the true immortals.
This supreme overlord thought in his heart that after this news came out, those true immortals and supreme overlords who were comparable to true immortals would also understand this meaning in their hearts. After all, none of those who could practice to this day were stupid.
In the Shenxiao Sect, no matter what they wanted to do, if they did not get the permission of the headmaster or the ancestor, it meant that this thing would not succeed at all.
So when these true immortals saw the headmaster's selection, they should have known the headmaster's attitude and would decisively give up this idea.
The position of the headmaster of the Shenxiao Sect is indeed enough to make the true immortals excited. After all, it contains supreme authority and luck, but it is not indispensable to go.
If Pang Hong did not make any instructions when he gave up the position of the headmaster, it meant that he did not care about the true immortals inheriting the position, and they would naturally not hesitate to fight for it, try this position, and practice with the authority of this position.
But now Pang Hong's attitude is very clear. He is just short of telling them not to participate in this competition. If they continue to compete shamelessly, they will not only fail in the end, but may also displease the headmaster, which is a situation they don't want to see.
The power of the True Immortals in the Shenxiao Sect is far greater than that of ordinary Supreme Powers and Supreme Powers Overlords. Each of them who can prove the True Immortals or be comparable to the True Immortals is an old man who existed when the Shenxiao Sect first rose.
These strong men know one thing better than the Supreme Powers who grew up later, that is, the deep relationship between the headmaster Pang Hong and the ancestor Changsheng Daojun. The ancestor doesn't care about the Shenxiao Sect at all, and leaves everything to Pang Hong to deal with, so the headmaster Pang Hong can fully represent the will of the ancestor.
Therefore, when this news came out, these True Immortals have decisively given up this idea and will not invest any energy and resources in things that are doomed to fail.
Even if there is a needle and thread to indicate the end, it is estimated that it is probably to go through a process to pave the way for the next generation of the headmaster to ascend to the throne.
After all, if it were other immortal sects, even if the strongest person ascended to the throne, it would be fine, but it would be impossible to let the true immortals pave the way for the strongest person. On the contrary, the Shenxiao Sect is fully qualified to do so.
So although the strongest person from the cultivator family of the Shenxiao Sect knew some secrets and guessed many things, he could not see through everything after all. He thought that these true immortals would fight for it or give up directly. He never thought that the dignified true immortals would have a day to play a trick.
When the strongest person pointed out all this to his offspring, his offspring had a look of joy on his face and said in surprise: "Father, in this case, isn't it possible for you too."
He didn't finish his words, but the meaning was self-evident.
After all, according to his father's words, the most qualified True Immortals and the strongest overlords who were on par with True Immortals were excluded invisibly, and the rest were fought over by many strongest overlords, so his father might have a chance.
You should know that his father is also a strongest. Although he is still a hair's breadth away from being a strongest overlord, their family is powerful, which can be turned into a helper and help him ascend to the throne.
If his father really ascends to the position of the headmaster, then there will be a chance for True Immortal, and he and even the entire family will be able to ascend to heaven and bless the family.
"You are so crazy, you want to die! If you want to die, then go and die by yourself, don't drag the whole family to die with you!" When the strongest heard the words of his offspring, he was not happy at all. His offspring's flattery seemed to have touched some taboos, which made him change color, furious, and scolded loudly.
"Father!" This cultivator of the eighth level of the spiritual realm is considered a strong man in the world, and he is also a pillar of the Shenxiao Sect.
But now, when he heard his father's scolding, he was also shocked. He only dared to call his father in a low voice, and did not dare to refute at all.
After all, this supreme power has supreme authority in the family, and even his own descendants dare not do anything presumptuous in front of him.
However, thinking that he just wanted to flatter his father to live with him, but he was scolded by his father and said that he was looking for death. He couldn't help but feel a little unconvinced in his heart, but he didn't dare to refute because of his father's usual authority, but that kind of unconvinced was indeed unconcealable.
This supreme power saw the unconvinced look on his descendants' faces, and knew that he had to explain it clearly to the other party, and absolutely could not ignore such a seemingly insignificant problem, because it might bring them a catastrophe.
"Do you think that since many True Immortals will not participate in the competition for the position of the headmaster this time, and the headmaster may only be selected from many Supreme Powers and Supreme Power Overlords, you think that your father has a slight chance?" he asked in a deep voice.
"Isn't it? If many Supreme Powers do not come out, with your father's strength and the influence of my family, there is a chance to compete. If you can really let your father ascend to the position of the headmaster, let alone the Supreme Power Overlord realm that your father has struggled to surpass, even a True Immortal can be easily captured!"
"Haha, stupid. With my strength and the influence of my family." The Supreme Power looked a little disdainful, sneered, and asked back: "How strong do you think my strength is, and how much influence does my family have in the sect?"
Seeing that his son had been silent, but still a little unconvinced, he asked back: "Let's not talk too much, do you know how many supreme powers and supreme overlords there are in the Shenxiao Sect?"
"I don't know!" The son shook his head and said.
Although he is an existence in the eighth level of the spiritual realm, he is just a junior in the Shenxiao Sect and is not a core figure at all.
The Shenxiao Sect has been developing for ten thousand years, with countless disciples, plus the opportunities of the infinite world opened up. How many supreme powers and supreme overlords has the Shenxiao Sect accumulated? Except for the most core true immortals and some high-level existences of the Shenxiao Sect, ordinary cultivators, even the supreme powers, do not know the exact number.
"You don't even know how many supreme powers and supreme overlords there are, yet you dare to talk nonsense." The supreme power said with regret: "Let me tell you, there are at least more than ten thousand! And how many places can your father rank among these ten thousand supreme powers? Can he rank in the top thousand? Maybe he can't even rank in the top three thousand!"
"There are so many supreme powers?" The cultivator of the eighth level of the spiritual realm was also shocked.
Even if he was a junior, when he was born, Shenxiao Sect was already the top immortal sect in the world. He also knew that Shenxiao Sect had accumulated a strong foundation and had many strong people, but he didn't expect it to be such a terrifying number.
And his father, who he usually thought was invincible, was not even in the upper level among so many supreme powers, or even the middle level was not stable. This was really unacceptable.
"This is still an underestimation. The number of real supreme powers will only be more, not less." The supreme power snorted coldly.
There is only one True Immortal among thousands, which means that only one True Immortal can be born among thousands of the strongest. So now there are so many True Immortals in the Shenxiao Sect, the base number alone is more than this.
Of course, the account is not calculated in this way, but this is also a reasonable explanation. Moreover, although he is the strongest, his life span is only 6,000 years, not even 7,000 years. Compared with the development of the real Shenxiao Sect, he is not the oldest one, and he is still more than 3,000 years away from those strong ones. (End of this chapter)
